Mitochondria in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: Comprehensive Review on Mitochondrial Functioning and Involvement in Metabolic Diseases

Mitochondria in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: Comprehensive Review on Mitochondrial Functioning and Involvement in Metabolic Diseases synthesizes discoveries from laboratories around the world, enhancing our understanding of the involvement of mitochondria in the etiology of diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Chapters illustrate and provide an overview of key concepts on topics such as the role of mitochondria in adipose tissue, cancer, cardiovascular comorbidities, skeletal muscle, the liver, kidney, and more. This book is a must-have reference for students and educational teams in biology, physiology and medicine, and researchers. Synthesizes actual knowledge on mitochondrial functionProvides an integrated vision of each tissue in the etiology of obesity and type 2 diabetesIdentifies the interactive networks that involve alteration in mitochondrial mass and function in disease progressionHighlights the role played by mitochondria in the prevention and treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes INDICE: 1. Mitochondrial function and structure 2. Mitochondria as signaling platforms 3. Hormonal and humoral regulation of mitochondrial function 4. Nutritional regulation of mitochondrial function 5. Mitochondrial DNA genetic and heteroplasmy 6. Role of mitochondria in the skeletal muscle metabolism in obesity and type 2 diabetes 7.
